Job summary
Are you looking for an organisation who is bucking the trends and striving to break the mould in the ways in which they provide amazing patient care? Would you love to work with a multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary team of clinicians who bring knowledge and experience from across sectors, as well as specialisms and passion for development and change in primary care?
Here at Living Well we are passionate about making change, pushing our limits and thinking outside of the box. We want to nurture, develop, collaborate, support and drive our clinical team to be a part of something unseen in Hampshire. We are the biggest GP Partnership in our county, and we use this to bolster our dedication to provide the best patient care by streamlining, sharing resources, and ceasing opportunities that most GP Practices aren't equipped to.
Main duties of the job
We care for 47,000 adults and children across the eastern Southampton region. Our eight different sites ensure everyone has local GP access, from the inner city to the rural outskirts.
We have developed a continuity model which sees 12 separate GP teams taking on their own patient list of around 3,500 patients. Each team is supported by a dedicated Care Coordinator, a Care Coordinator Assistant, and the multi-disciplined shared clinical resources of our Partnership, including: 21 Non-Principal GPs including 5 retainers, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses, Health Care Assistants, Social Prescribers, Care Coordinators and our own in-house Pharmacy team.
Tell us what it is that you’re looking for in an employer because we pride ourselves on wanting to provide the best work/life balance, most enjoyable work environments and most collaborative and integrated clinical workforce in Southampton.
About us
Our vision
The health and well-being of our patients is at the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to provide an accessible, friendly, evidence-based and compassionate service. By taking into account an individual's holistic needs we will utilise the correct professionals from our large multi-disciplinary team to address the problem presented. We pride ourselves on being able to address medical, physical, psychological and social aspects of care. By allowing our GP teams to manage their own patients, they can spot the patterns that allow us to provide much more efficient clinical services.
Next generation
As a practice that strives for continuing clinical excellence, we are passionate about helping to train the next generation of competent clinicians. We are a thriving and progressive training hub supporting physician associates, nurses, HCAs, pharmacy technicians, independent prescribers, medical students, newly qualified doctors and GP registrars through their academic and clinical education.
